Mental health: community mental health; retention of certain review information; require. Amends sec. 232a of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1232a) & adds sec. 137b.

SB 1119 requires the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to conduct annual reviews and on-site inspections every three years of psychiatric hospitals and community mental health programs to ensure they follow recipient rights standards. These reviews will involve checking complaint logs, interviewing staff, and assessing policies, with detailed reports made public on the department's website and shared with legislative committees. The bill also mandates that programs provide specific documentation before inspections and allows the department to deny certification if standards are not met. By adding new sections to the state's mental health code, the legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in how these facilities protect the rights of their patients.
